No matter how many times I sit, it always holds a challenge(s) for me. Even when I want to sit and especially when I don’t want to.
I used to hate that, and sometimes it is still greatly annoying (ha!) but the *progress* I most directly experience is a felt softening (physically and mentally) on my whole experience. As in the tips today…progress and success is not about the thoughts going away or the method being perfected (today getting all the way to 10), it is about everything (great and small) the choice of practice yields….and I am learning to see more and more of the small. What I did not expect, initially is that the small would have such a great impact in my life.
